Manchester United are "taking seriously" allegations of domestic abuse made against forward Antony.

Antony was dropped by Brazil following accusations of physical aggression on a number of occasions since January by his former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin.

The 23-year-old, who has made 31 appearances since Cavallin made a complaint to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in January, has denied the claims.

"Manchester United acknowledges the allegations made against Antony and notes that the police are conducting enquiries," said a club statement.

"Pending further information, the club will be making no further comments.

"As a club, we are taking this matter seriously, with consideration of the impact of these allegations and subsequent reporting will have on survivors of abuse."
